Are you reading Homeric Greek or studying Homeric Greek with Pharr's Homeric Greek - A Book For Beginners? Here's where you can meet other Homeric Greek learners. Use this board for all things Homeric Greek.

That is the what I use but I get the same result as Alex and Ed. Maybe it is GreekGeeks new look. A picture of Paul's wife or daughter beside the menu.
I'm not confident that that's it and I am afraid to try the menu.

Quelle drag. I became aware of this issue two days ago. On one computer the "blond girl" page showed up; on another my website showed up. Today I get blond girl on both machines. Sounds like it was just a matter of nameserver percolation.

So now what? whois shows me still the owner of the site. But I am not sure how best to proceed. I will look into it further. I am open to suggestions.

Thank you all, again, for your patience. And thinks for the spelunking which led to the workaround.

Let us know if you find out any more about how this happened and how it can be fixed (and prevented). I'm worried about my own sits. I have them all locked, as I can see from a whois that you did for yours, so there's more to it than just that.

Will: I am pretty sure this is a so-called "DNS hijack." My domain registration is up-to-date.

All: My ISP is looking at the problem; they seemed quite concerned about it. Also, if you are behind a caching proxy server, then the HOSTS file workaround won't work. I am unable to reach greekgeek.org (the real one) from work for this very reason. When IE (and Mozilla, it seems) knows it's talking to proxy server, it simply ignores HOSTS file, instead deferring to proxy server's cache. I lack authority at work to mung with proxy server, though I am nonetheless tempted....

Here's an interesting post about a DNS-changing Trojan. What they're describing is a little different, since it sounds more like ISP name servers getting hijacked, but the image of the redirected/hijacked site is strangely similar to what got Paul's site.

Can you browse there via 'My Computer'?

That's it. Back slash instead of forward slash.
But like you, it didn't have an effect.
I wanted it to work if for no other reason than to make the effort of this vandal useless.
Why is edonnelly's still work I wonder?

At my ISP's instruction, I updated the authoritative nameservers for greekgeek.org. This update should be effective within 24 hours (I think I did it around mid-day yesteday) Worldwide nameserver percolation should take not more than 48.

I am finding that I can now get to my website from several computers without any fix to HOSTS file.

I suspect that by Saturday afternoon, all will be cool. But please let me know if not.

I'm still not quite sure what really happened, nor do I know if my ISP has taken steps to prevent its re-occurence. But I will read article Ed posted.
